Young Teggs Stegosaur is a new cadet at the Astrosaurs Academy. Along with his new friends Dutch Delaney and Blink Fingawing, he must train hard. Only then will he graduate to become an Astrosaur: one of the Dinosaur Space Service’s finest and most heroic herbivores! It’s the new cadets first day at the Astrosaurs Academy. Teggs, Dutch and Blink team up to form the Daring Dinos. ‘Do we dare?’ Teggs asks putting his hand out. Joining hands the three new cadets all shout ‘WE DARE’. The Daring Dinos however will have to do more than just outwit their fellow cadets to earn their Planet Explorer’s medal and win the special award. Fail, and they’re next on the menu.

Astrosaurs Academy is Steve Cole’s new series about the early adventures of Teggs Stegosaur. It introduces his new friends, his rivals the Damona Darlings (Damona, Netta and Splatt), and a whole new planet, Astro Prime, with great place names such as the ‘mudlakes of Plop’, ‘Mount Steamalot’ and ‘Seasharp Fang’. Fans of the Astrosaurs series and new readers will delight in the extra dimension of Dinosaurs at school in space. Destination: Danger! combines all the essential Steve Cole elements. There are appallingly good jokes, puns, and pranks -- such as challenging six T-Rexes with only inflatable tents as weapons, not once, but twice -- alongside fast-action packed adventure complete with genuine moments of daring and danger.

Astrosaurs Academy is illustrated once again by Woody Fox, whose work successfully communicates the characters’ feelings and actions throughout the story. Destination: Danger! is a great fun read for children aged 7-10 years.
